Starring Bill Skarsgård, Dacre Montgomery, Cary Elwes, Myha’la, Colman Domingo, and Al Pacino, and written by Austin Kolodney.American filmmaker, photographer, visual artist and painter Gus Van Sant has been lauded for his experimental, independent projects and mainstream productions alike--from the acclaimed Drugstore Cowboy (1989) and My Own Private Idaho (1991) to Oscar-winning films such as Good Will Hunting (1997) and Milk (2008). In 2003, Elephant won the Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival.Both an indie auteur and Hollywood subversive, Van Sant is known for focusing on marginalized and isolated characters. His practice of photography focuses on people’s personality and the disarming simplicity of his portraits underline Van Sant’s rare sensitivity and deep understanding of people.Katya Tylevich is an arts and fiction writer.
